Rumorama: Zombies!!! Shambling Slowly Onto XBLA?
I'm going to recant my prior statement that I don't like speculating on video game rumors. Over the last week that's pretty much be the extent of the "news" I've reported on. I'm a flip-flopper, what can I say. Moving right along, if someone were to twist my arm, blackmail me and threaten my very life; I would be forced to disclose that I love zombie flicks. I'm a complete junkie for them. You give me undulating masses of reanimated corpses and I'll dance like a monkey. Inclusion of hurdy-gurdy would only improve on those odds.
This is all speculation, but turns out an "eager gamer" decided to go on a quest to get Zombies!!! or something similar onto XBLA. It's the perfect platform for it; titles like Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan have already established that Live is the perfect network for casual board games. I know I'm more than a little addicted to my share of these titles. But is it true? When asked at Comic Con, creator Todd A. Breitenstein had this to say:
I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a project... but do you think it would be cool?
Why yes, Todd, yes it would be fantastic if that existed. Please make this happen, or I shall eat your brains. Braaaaaaaiiiiinnnnns.

Other stuff like this: board games, live, shambling masses, xbla, xbox, zombies!!!
Zombies would be an awesome edition, though I'm not entirely sure how it would work? I think something more simple, like The Haunting House would be better.
In a dream world, though? Arkham Horror, Killer Bunnies, and Munchkin would all be played on X-Box Live.
while I don't own an x-box, I can fully attest for the maximum awesomeness of zombies!!!, and that any new incarnation of this will just further compound said awesomeness.
